I am interested in teaching across literary studies, postcolonial theory, and the environmental humanities. My teaching is grounded in close textual analysis and encourages students to engage critically with literature in relation to history, culture, and contemporary global issues.
I am particularly interested in courses that explore African and Global South literatures, postcolonial thought, and the relationship between literature and environment. My teaching aims to develop students’ analytical skills while fostering an awareness of literature as a space for examining questions of power, identity, and social change.
My teaching approach emphasises critical inquiry, attentive reading, and intellectual independence. I aim to create a learning environment in which students engage closely with texts, question established assumptions, and develop sustained, well-supported arguments.
I view the study of literature as both an analytical and interpretive practice, where students are encouraged to think carefully about language, form, and context. My goal is to support the development of confident, reflective readers who can engage thoughtfully with complex ideas across different literary and cultural traditions.
